Get an unprecedented glimpse into the vast unpublished work of Carl Jung during the Inaugural Philemon Lectures at The Jung Center (March 11, 2005). Although many of Jung's works have been published as his Collected Works, an even larger set of heretofore unavailable materials is being prepared for publication by the non-profit Philemon Foundation, with the permission of the Heirs of C.G. Jung.
The Jung Center is privileged to serve as the host institution for this translation and publication project, and Carolyn Grant Fay serves as the Founding Patron of the Foundation. These annual lectures will inform the international Jungian community about the current progress of this vital work. Dr. Sonu Shamdasani, international historian of psychology, faculty member at the University College of London, and general editor of the Philemon publishing projects, is afforded the honor of presenting the Inaugural Lecture.
The Undiscovered Jung
Sonu Shamdasani
Nearly half a century after his death, much of Jung's work still remains undiscovered, as thousands of pages of manuscripts, seminars and correspondence remain unpublished. This presentation will describe the curious circumstances as to how this situation came about, and reflect on how the publication of the rest of the vast Jung corpus may transform contemporary understandings of his life and work.
And Parts of Jung:
The Appropriation of Jung's Ideas Within the American Psychotherapeutic Counter-Culture, Eugene Taylor
Panel Discussion: Dr. Shamdasani, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Stephen A. Martin (president of the Philemon Foundation and Jungian analyst) and Dr. James Hollis (executive director of The Jung Center and Jungian analyst)
Abraham Maslow and Anthony Sutich, editors of The Journal of Humanistic Psychology, declared the launching of a new era in psychology in 1961. This new psychology would emphasize self-actualization, interpersonal knowing, transcendence, the study of the whole being. It would draw on varied sources in Eastern and Western traditions and would appropriate "parts of Jung." Since then, Jung - often represented only as an acolyte of Freud and largely ignored in mainstream academic psychology - has been enthusiastically embraced by the psychotherapeutic counter-culture. What this appropriation was all about, and its consequences for practice and credentialing analysts in Jungian psychology today and in future will be examined.
